Flats Craft - The ArtiMerc

The ArtiMerc (Articulated Mercules Crab), is an Articulated Claw crab fly that is quick to tie, doesn't foul when casting or fishing and offers an incredible defensive action both when moving or when still... what self respecting crab eating fish wouldn't eat a crab waving its claws at them !! Below is a link to the the swim test video, please set your setting to 4K to really get a good look at it. Swim Test 

This is going to be a killer fly all over the world !! Permit, Bream, Redfish, Bonefish, Golden Trevally, Tuskfish, Blue Bastards, Giant Trevally, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Grunter or any other fish that swims that eats crabs.

Tie it heavy, or tie it so light it floats. The Artic Merc is designed to only be tied on North / South (straight). Don't limit your claws to foam, consider natural materials ( zonker, hackle etc), the same goes for the carapace... Deerhair, foam, scour pad, Velcro only limited to your imagination.
